“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -- Maya Angelou"If you deliberately plan on being less than you are capable of being, then I must warn you that you will be unhappy for the rest of your life." --Abraham Maslow

You Are Powerful Beyond Measure!

Watch your thoughts -- they become words.Watch your words -- they become actions.Watch your actions -- they become habits.Watch your habits -- they become your character.Watch your character -- it becomes your destiny.-- Frank Outlaw (or Unknown)Remember, loved ones, to think about the interconnectedness of all things. Know that everything you say and everything you do has an effect, and sends ripples out into the world."It isn't given to us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the slightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world. They will not be cured by our most efficacious drugs or slain with our sharpest swords." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Freshest Boy" (1928)

Listen Up!

I found this website called LibriVox where you can listen to certain books for free without even registering. Not every book is available, only certain books that are in the public domain. The "public domain" means that it is not owned or controlled by anyone. Some of these books include The Bible, anything by William Shakespeare, and many others--maybe even books you might be required to read in high school or college!
